Club Police

I wanna tell you there's a really good reason Why I came home wasted in the middle of the night A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees Where I was always a winner and I was usually right Oh, you can watch it when you get a bit older But for now in the bad bits, I should cover your eyes She painted pictures with the tips of her fingers Sewing buttons to Bambi, tying strings to a kite Turning into black and white Underneath the swinging lights Barely awake But I still got my stripes 'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite I wanna tell you there's a really good reason Why I came down easy, spinning threads to a throne A tiny kingdom at the bottom of the trees Where I was always a winner and I was barely alone Turning into black and white Underneath the swinging lights Barely awake But I still got my stripes 'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite Tangled up, tongue tied Tell me what to do Tangled up, tongue tied Tell me what to do Turning into black and white Underneath the swinging lights Barely awake But I still got my stripes 'Cause you're the killer with the colored kite Turning into black and white

Through the wire to your door, Through the wire. Through the wire to your door. I'm killing time until I see her. So many days, but I don't care. I'm sleeping alone, even the warm nights cold. But I got a picture, and I'm always coming home. Through the wire to your door, Through the wire. Through the wire to your door. I'm coming around, Ones and zeros on the ground. I'll be a minute, Through the wire, I'm down. Oh no, she's saving me a pillow. Se couldn't tell a single lie. I'm coming around, I'm gonna be laying her down. Almost the real thing, Gets me close enough now. Through the wire to your door, Through the wire. Through the wire to your door. I wanna be there, Ones and zeros in the air. A couple of seconds, Through the wire, and I; m there. I think of your face Holding the keys to your place. There's nobody else, I'm lying awake by myself. And count the days, I creep your pictures on the train. Don't give it away, I'll do whatever it takes. Through the wire to your door, Through the wire. Through the wire to your door. I'm coming around, Ones and zeros in the ground. I'll be a minute, Through the wire, I'm down. Through the wire to your door, (Through the wire.) Through the wire to your door. I'm coming around, Ones and zeros on the ground. I'll be a minute, Through the wire, I'm down.

Breakneck speed tying up your hands Cause you're landing back on your feet You know what I mean Vowel change I remember when our voices used to sound the same Now we just translate Cause I'm still amazed you made it out alive After what you did Born on your feet, running Forest fires underneath your bed But it's good to be back Good to be back Good to be back Staring out, I always skip the words Cause all the pictures are so bright and loud Better off than now Cause I'm still amazed you made it out alive After what you did Born on your feet, running Forest fires underneath your bed Cause it's good to be back Good to be back Super fun At the movies, drunk and young Double knots that came undone But the big bad years are gone Yeah, the big bad years are done And gone away I remember when our voices used to sound the exact same Now we just translate Cause I'm still amazed you made it out alive After what you did Born on your feet Running, forest fires underneath your bed But it's good to be back Good to be back Good to be back

It's been a blast But we've been caught Packing up your suitcase Hard day, long face Get the story right Get the story right Get the story down Waltzing right out of the room Be good when your parents stay over in June It's been alright But we have fought Ways of the samurai Parry thrust, do or die Not the fighting type Not the killing kind Get the story down Waltzing right out of the room Be good when your parents stay over in June I heard the news I'll send a card Cellar door, Friday night Long johns, hold tight Put it on a page Put it on a line Get the story down Waltzing right out of the room Be good when your parents stay over in June

(No we can't) See the ruins of the old world below That's what our ancestors left us. Our robot masters will know How to clean this mess up And build a better world For man and machine alike For the boys and the girls Who are slaves building spaceships at night In the fluorescent light. That's 2009. (No we can't, No we won't, No we can't, No we won't) On cold frosty Martian mornings The chill on my breath is red Redder than my mother's blood When she turned to me and said "This is not how we planned it But we've gotten ahead of ourselves Computers rule the planet And the moon and mars as well We lost the fight" That's 2009. I have a microchip Implanted in my heart So if I try to escape The robots will blow me apart And my limbs will go flying And land before the ones that I love Who would wail and would weep But the robots would keep them at bay While I shut my eyes For the very last time. Citizens of tomorrow be forewarned.
